struct bowler { std::string bowlername; int score; int points; };

Well, let's start over. What do you know? We're not mindreaders, so there's no way to tell how much hand holding you need or expect.

Oddly enough, C++ has a function called std::sort.

>then automatically assign points accordingly to the rank?
Well, it sounds like you want points to match the index of the sorted array, so I would make an educated guess that it's quite trivial to assign the points once you've sorted the array:

for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++ ) {
  if ( bowler[i].score == 0 )
    bowler[i].points = 0;
  else
    bowler[i].points = i + 1;
}

for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++ ) { if ( bowler[i].score == 0 ) bowler[i].points = 0; else bowler[i].points = i + 1; }
